    1st game of the season - starting to get excited already....

    Normally I book the first two weeks of the kids holidays off but as we went to Florida in March and New York in June I only have enough holiday for a week this year, which is lucky as didnt even think about the season starting so early. However that does mean I will be in the Lake District on...

    "Moped Cars"

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/20451602 As of next year, this car will be legal for 16 year olds to drive on the road with a moped license. Personally I think its a stupid idea: 1) Who in their right mind would pay £9,999 (plus insurance!) for a years use of something which isn't even a car...

  4. Notes from Stambridge

    I went to the game last night (not that you'd know there was a game, with all this Mohsni nonsense overshadowing things) and happened to spend the first half stood next to The Wee Birdie and his assistant/mate (not sure of the guy's name unfortunately). Did as much ear-wigging as possible and...

    Sadlers Farm - seriously ? This is the best it can be managed ?

    Now I know that when its done the bypass is going to be fantastic, but my god how long is it taking to get through at the moment !? I came through tonight about 5:45 and the tailback was a mile or two BEFORE the 5 Bells roundabout. The website says completion in April, but there still looks to...

    Depression/Anxiety - Another Thank You

    Some months ago now I come onto this website and was very open and honest about how depression/anxiety was overtaking my life. Part of the reason was to get back into the swing of things on Shrimperzone and let people know where I have been but the other was to seek feedback and opinions on the...

    Most amazing match I've ever seen

    I'll always be a Shrimper first and foremost and if they ever played Brisbane I'd be wearing blue not orange. However yesterdays Grand Final is the most amazing bit of drama I've ever seen at a football match in my 30 years of going to games. For anyone who didn't get up at 6am to watch it on...

    Hull, Hell And Happiness

    18 hours of hell, 1 moment of ecstasy ..... 4.00pm - get up from bed (I work nights), showered, breakfasted, watch greedy tart crying because she only won a tenner on Deal Or Sod Off, Noel. 5.00pm - can't afford the bus fare to Billericay station, where Chipper is being dropped off from...

    Leeds away....

    Apologies if there is another thread on this but.... Just got my ticket and the shop said with some assurance that our allocation of 1700 was virtually sold out. She had about 30 to 40 in her hand and she said that's it. If true that's astounding. 1700 to make a 500+ mile round trip is...

    Reserves Match Report - SUFC 3 LTFC 1

    Was it the unseasonally warm weather or was it the fact that I'd only recently found out that STHs get into reserves games for nothing ? It matters not. The important thing is that after 33 years of patiently and quietly watching the best team in the world I finally broke my duck to watch my...

    Biggest Bunny Boiler

    A few years back my mate came back to find his ex-girlfriend in his flat wearing his clothes and sitting on his sofa saying she'd decided to move back in. This was three months after they had split up and in the intervening time she had bombarded him with a mixture of abusive texts and...

    Having watched the excellent film 'The Green Mile' on film4 this weekend, should we bring back capital punishment? If so what method and what crimes should it be used for? Discuss.
